Answer

WREAK

Today's word is a verb meaning to cause a large amount of damage or harm. It comes from the Old English word 'wrecan' meaning to drive out or punish. The word is most commonly paired with 'havoc' in the phrase to wreak havoc, though it can also be used with vengeance or destruction.

Strategy Tip

Words starting with W can be tricky because W is less common as a starting letter. If you are stuck, try a guess that includes W early to test this possibility. Also note that the EA vowel combination appears frequently in English words.
